Installing the MTAS Shelf
3.1
Mounting the MTAS-192 Shelf
Step 1. The MTAS-192 shelf comes with two (2)
universal mounting flanges and four (4)
10-32 screws and washers. Attach the
left and right side universal mounting
flanges to the MTAS-192 shelf using the
supplied screws to set the depth of the
shelf with respect to the equipment rack.
For 19" racks, screw the long side of the
mounting flange to the shelf using the
supplied 10-32 screws and lock washers.
For 23" racks, screw the short side of the
mounting flange to the shelf.
